By the end of Week 4 a fair bit of progress has
been made, unfortunately much of it is underground and cannot be
seen. The installation of piping the site mobilization is complete,
which includes site trailers with temporary services, security fencing,
vehicle and pedestrian access, tree removal, and implementation
of the "tree preservation" plan.
This piping will service Sir John A Macdonald School
and was installed early to avoid the upcoming school year.
A small portion of the several kilometers of pipe
that will ultimately be installed awaits pre-fabrication before
placing it in trenches.
The excavation along York Street is one of the deepest
trenches in order for us to get our district heating pipe under
existing services. Note the pre-fabricated pipe sitting on the sidewalk
waiting to be slipped into the trench.
Crews prepare the pile driving equipment, which will
place twenty five piles deep into the ground to support the 75 ton
engine that will produce the heat and electricity. We have eagerly
awaited this moment because this means we will actually begin to
see progress above ground!
